His classic six-volume account of those years has shaped our perceptions of the conflict and secured Churchill's place as its most important chronicler. This book explains how Churchill wrote this masterwork, and in the process enhances and often revises our understanding of one of history's most complex, vivid, and eloquent leaders. It forces us to reconsider much received wisdom about World War II, and peels back the covers from an unjustly neglected period of Churchill's life, his "second wilderness" years, 1945-1951.--From publisher description. 000303619 60010 $$aChurchill, Winston,$$d1874-1965.$$tSecond World War. 000303619 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xHistoriography. 000303619 650_0 $$aWorld War, 1939-1945$$xPersonal narratives, British$$xHistory and criticism. 000303619 85200 $$bgen$$hD743.42$$i.R48$$i2005 000303619 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0618/2004051087-b.html 000303619 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0618/2004051087-d.html 000303619 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0618/2004051087-s.html 000303619 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:303619$$pGLOBAL_SET 000303619 980__ $$aBIB 000303619 980__ $$aBOOK
